@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys When people make jokes, they are doing it so that other people can reinforce their beliefs about their values. You buy into and culturally green-light fat shaming by finding this funny — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys Sadism is when you feel pleasure at another person's pain or humiliation. This seems a pretty textbook example. But it's okay, I'm glad you apologised. I hope you can understand that finding it funny is itself exactly the same problem as making the joke in the first place — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys It is perfectly OK to hold yourself accountable & admit to yourself that mocking people was actually not so cool. That's a really good thing actually, I mean you can't grow as a person unless you can look back & say "ew I really did that. Why was I so mean? She didn't deserve it" — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys I mean frankly, I think we both know your intention was never genuine concern for my friend's health. You are just saying that now because you realized "nah he's just funny" is actually really mean, and now you are hoping to play off your sadistic comment as something else — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys @AmericanAtheist The internet isn't some anonymous dreamland. There are real people reading everything you're saying. I think you know deep down that you don't really want to be someone who mocks people who are just trying to eat their lunch and go about their day. That's really not who you are — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys @AmericanAtheist And your mocking and cruel statements ARE causing harm. I love my friend and you are hurting me mocking her. She is also reading this. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys @AmericanAtheist If you think other people suffering is funny, by definition you lack empathy. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys Would you like some help finding a therapist to talk about leaving the LDS cult? I'm the former PR Director of @AmericanAtheist and we hosted a major conference in Salt Lake during my tenure. I know a lot of ex-Mormons who also has to relearn how to be a decent person. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys You are only going to be more angry and more lonely unless you learn to develop some empathy. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys You need therapy. You literally just told me IN THE SAME TWEET that you 1. Have not been abused 2. Are a cult survivor Which is it? You need help. You lack empathy. You can learn to be more compassionate with training. Sadism is not the way. You only end up hurting yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys You think other people's pain is funny because you are a sadist. It's also why nobody wants to be part of your life. Seek mental healthcare. You have obviously been abused and you are displacing the anger from your trauma on total strangers. It's cruel and it's not okay. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys You need therapy. I'm not a therapist, so I'm going to just advise you to seek professional help. I have nothing else to say. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys Your goal tweeting here is, obviously, not tough love. Cut the bullshit. You are mocking her because you are bitter about your own sense of entitlement. Seek mental healthcare for your trauma. Abused people act like this, not mentally healthy compassionate people. It gets better — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys Yeah that's because you were abused. That's not a real thing — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja If you want people to like you try not being cruel to them. It's not rocket science. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja You're a sadist. Seek mental healthcare — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys Why are you defending cruelty? Why do you think it's okay to mock people? Get help. You're sadistic. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys You know this wasn't a comedy club, right? Insulting someone for no reason when it's explicitly NOT your job and doing so well get you fired, is not comedy. Where did you get the idea this was comedy? He just straight up mocked her. It's cruelty. They're not synonyms? — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja Try being more compassionate — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys Because you take pleasure in other people's suffering. That's called sadism and it's a sign of psychopathy. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@GreenSockNinja @youmyknitta @Wendys you need therapy — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@greatcthuwu @Wendys I don't really care? The situation has already been resolved. Read the thread — PolitiTweet.org

@iCandy__Mandie @SupportTheVets @93Float @Suzeiki @Wendys He's a Trump troll Mandie, he's just trying to waste your time. He doesn't actually care at all about anything he's saying, he just wants to be contrarian for attention. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@SupportTheVets @iCandy__Mandie @93Float @Suzeiki @Wendys I mean the alternative is firing the guy? That's what they would have done if my friend hadn't insisted they didn't. — PolitiTweet.org

@NewGirondins Did you read the thread? — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@Kinngshiz @Wendys I have spoken to an eyewitness and seen the receipt myself. The employee didn't deny it, either. @Wendys upper management has already contacted her and formally apologized. — PolitiTweet.org
